Dear ESPN College GameDay: It is with great pleasure that we are hosting a monumental American Athletic Conference showdown between currently undefeated UCF and one-loss Cincinnati next weekend and would like to invite you to attend.

This, of course, depends upon UCF (a 25-point favorite) taking care of business against Navy on Saturday and Cincinnati (a 14-point favorite) taking care of business against USF.

If all goes according to plan, we would be honored to host Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and the boys out at UCF and give them a first-hand look at the team they can’t stop talking about. Plus, as an added bonus, our fellow Orlandoan, Lee Corso, wouldn’t even have to get on a plane; he could just Uber over to Spectrum Stadium where we’ll have a custom-fitted Knightro mascot head waiting for him upon his arrival.

As a quick aside, there really aren’t any other monumental national games next week for you guys to attend unless you count Notre Dame traveling to New York to play Syracuse at Yankee Stadium. But everybody knows they really don’t care about college football in the Northeast. If GameDay sets up at Times Square, it will be about the sixth-most interesting thing going on that day in downtown Manhattan and will be met with a gigantic yawn — like you guys are just some sort of off-Broadway rendition of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”

In contrast, if you come to Orlando, you’ll be the only show in town and fans will embrace the experience and provide you the passion and pageantry that has made GameDay the only pregame show of its kind in all of sports.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you’ll be attending.

We are looking forward to seeing you in the City Beautiful — a k a, the biggest TV market in America with a college football team but no NFL franchise.

MIKEY LIKES: UCF over Navy by 26, South Carolina over Florida by 3 in Upset Special, Notre Dame over FSU by 14, Georgia Tech over Miami by 7, Cincinnati over USF by 9, Jags over Colts by 5, Packers over Dolphins by 12, Bucs over Native Americans by 4, Gronk and Kim Kardashian over Flor-duh election officials by at least 20 IQ points. … Did you see where the New York Mets say Tim Tebow has earned a promotion to Triple-A Syracuse for next season? I’m thinking the reason is because of the gaudy numbers he put up last year at Double-A Binghamton where he hit .273 with six homers, 36 RBIs and a zillion sold jerseys ($119.99 each).

SHORT STUFF: Here is a Depressing Stat of the Week. Sadly, Florida, Florida State and Miami all have lost at least two games in a row for the first time since 1971 when Doug Dickey was coaching the Gators, Fran Curci was coaching the ’Canes and Larry Jones was coaching the Seminoles. … The top five potential clever and clairvoyant headlines for the sports weekend from my social-media peeps and me: (1) Seminoles ambush Wimbush, close Book on Notre Dame’s perfect season; (2) UCF drops anchor on Navy but sinks in polls; (3) Navy pulls hull of an upset; (4) After losing to South Carolina, Mullen tells Muschamp, “Yeah, but I’ll kick your ass in thumb-wrestling.” (5) Even with Fournette’s return against Colts, Jaguars remain Leonard’s Losers. … Before the season, I wrote that I would be driving the Orlando Jagwagon all the way to Atlanta for Super Bowl 53. Well, if Blake Bortles and the Jaguars lose their fifth consecutive game Sunday to the Colts, I’m leaving the Jagwagon in Indy and selling it for scrap metal.

Washington Wizards center Dwight Howard returned to Orlando Friday night with his sixth team since leaving the Magic. When he bolted six years ago, he was like your hot ex-wife dumping you for another man. Sadly, he returned as a restless aging vamp who wears too much makeup and has been married five or six times and wishes she’d never dumped you in the first place. As I wrote before Dwight departed and have written a million times since he made the ill-fated decision to force his way out of Orlando, “The grass may look greener on the other side of the fence, but it’s really just a bunch of mowed-down weeds.” … Speaking of the Magic, I got a chance to play in the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation charity golf tournament earlier this week out at Disney where the Magic raised more than $200,000 for at-risk kids in Central Florida. Magic CEO Alex Martinsgot a bit emotional when I asked him about holding the annual tournament for the first time since the passing of both Rich DeVos and Helen DeVos. “I thought about them a lot today,” Martins said after the tournament. “They are the ones who instilled in all of us the approach of giving back to the community.” Here’s hoping the Magic’s on-court product can someday match the organization’s off-court benevolence.

LAST WORD: After NASCAR slammed Stewart-Haas Racing for an illegal rear spoiler and disallowed driverKevin Harvick from using his victory last week for an automatic berth among the four drivers who will vie for the championship next weekend at Homestead, SHR vice president Greg Zipadelli said in a statement: “We work tirelessly across every inch of our racecars to create speed and, unfortunately, NASCAR determined we ventured into an area not accommodated by its rule book.”
